you aren't counting expansions... blizzard expansions add more content than most games sequels do. i'd rather have the best games with expansions than sequels with less content and worse production quality. it shows they spend lots of time on the quality of the games instead of releasing a sequel every 6 months like everyone else does. the only other company who takes comparable lengths of time to produce actual quality sequels is valves episode games.

>>7461975
you're so stupid it's seriously painful. you don't seem to understand what the hell you're talking about. the term "CASUAL" is used to describe games where you can easily master the mechanics of the game and the difference between being the best and mediocre is only a little bit. being a game that no one buys because it's complete shit doesn't make it hardcore or cool. the difficulty of a single player doesn't define a game as casual or not because that attribute is used to talk about when you're near the pinnacle of the game.

Hell, FFXIII had a great showing with the developers seemingly set to address all the shortcomings of the previous game and bolster its strengths. What exactly was he disappointed with anyway? Did he think that Tomb Raider and Deus Ex are better looking games?
I happen to disagree strongly, Deus Ex only looks passable in the pre-rendered footage and every real gameplay footage I've seen of it has looked very awkward, and as for Tom Raider, well at least Japanese developers have discovered a little thing I like to call colour.

Oh, pray tell, why did Blizzard stress the importance of custom maps in SC2? Why did they go as far as to create divisions instead of using and established ladder system (was actually added later IIRC), and even implemented a Facebook sync system? Why did Blizzard make LoD's 1.10 patch more streamlined and less time consuming when there wasn't really anything wrong with the system? And don't get me started on Wow.. I really don't understand why it's so hard to accept that Blizzard games appeal to casual mass as well who don't have much time to play such games.

simply because you, a small portion, of the customers enjoy casual play doesn't make the games casual. blizzard knows about 40% of the people who bought sc2 literally didn't even play or finish the single player game. they make the game for everyone but the actual core of the game is targeted are competitive multiplayer which isn't "casual" by any definition.

you're talking about 1.10 patch now too? i seriously cant' believe you're saying that made d2 easier... it actually made it more difficult in pve and made nearly all of the specs viable again in pvp too. the biggest part of that patch was them releasing rust storm to delete all the hacked items. yeah, d2 was so casual people hacked the blizzard servers so they could import edited items they made themselves so they could tell them for hundreds of dollars.

out of all the games around d2 was the most "hardcore" you could possibly get honestly. it's not the apex of skill like gook clicking in sc, but for just a vulgar extreme community none are worse and more hardcore than d2.

believe whatever you want about blizzard, pal. you don't know shit and are completely retarded. you still haven't listed an actual hardcore game yourself. you're just a butthurt console peasant who got his shitslapped on battle.net so you turned to consoles and whine about blizzard.

Try going into a dark souls thread on /v/.

Demons souls thread since 09/10 were full of friendly posters offering advice, sharing experiences etc. Dark souls is full of trolls, people (xbox owners) complaining about how you have to restart the level every time you die in demons souls and general unpleasantness.

I guess its a testament to the success of Namco's marketing and the cult success of Demons Souls that its so popular on /v/, but it sure did bring the quality of threads down.

I'm sure you can still party chat, at least. Also I'm confused on what console to get it for. I'd get it for PS3 just because, but I think I know more people who are getting it for the 360 so I might get that version insead.

>> No.7462230

>>7462224
I disagree. The whole atmosphere is constructed around isolation and being overwhelmed. I hear that in Dark souls up to 3 people can be in your game, meaning (no sauce to confirm or deny) it could be possible that they're all black phantoms. Making communication difficult is part of the game.

From the E3 floor demo, you can see that the black phantom mechanics are largely the same (e.g. world enemies do not target them, etc) so I really doubt they would allow you to be invaded by more than 1.

The 'pyromancer' class was shown in one video I watched 'planting a seed' in another users' world that 'made it harder.' I think it spawns black phantom NPCs or something?

I mean you can enter a party with someone and voice chat with them / multiple people if you'd like, but that in game voice chat won't be an option. Who knows.
